Abridged

This is a rather aged photo of a place at which I spent a serious amount of time hanging out in high school. Still looked like that too, except for the bridge, which is long gone. A rather major change, but if not for that change, I'd have been hanging out elsewhere, due to the traffic.

The photo comes from a postcard I received from a friend with whom a great percentage of that time was spent. The full reverse didn't get scanned -- not that there's anything salacious there or anything -- but said friend writes, among other tidbits of wisdom:

Isn't it freaky how the rocks look exactly the same today? Hmmm... some things never change, do they?

Well, I haven't been there for almost 10 years now.

If a rock falls into a river, and nobody's there to hear, does it make a change?
